Rebirth Revenge Is Everything (Ariana) novel Chapter 328

328 /658

Upon seeing Ariana's expression, Jolene immediately became anxious and asked, "What's the matter? Are you okay?"

With an unwell look on her face, Ariana shook her head and forced a smile, "Perhaps..."

Something in the Old Mrs. Stone's expression was odd. It suddenly occurred to her, and her eyes lit up instantly. She exclaimed joyfully, "Could it be that you're pregnant?"

These words immediately caused both Lambert and Ariana to freeze.

Unbelievably, Lambert looked at Ariana and carefully glanced at her stomach, seeming completely unprepared for the possibility of her being pregnant. After all, they had agreed to have a child after two years, so Lambert often took precautions...

Except for...

That day, when he returned from detention, they seemed to have lost control and spent an intimate time in his office's lounge.

Thinking of this, the color drained from Lambert's face. His gaze was full of bewilderment, surprise, and daze.

Old Mr. Stone seemed just as surprised, breaking into cheerful laughter at once. Then, he hastily ordered, "Quick, call Dr. Cooper over to check on Ariana." He was naturally hoping this news to be true. But if this was only a false joy, it wouldn't be good. Moreover, if she were indeed pregnant then Dr. Cooper could help her with good prenatal care.

Old Mrs. Stone didn't express any objections or endorsement to Old Mr. Stone's order.

She also wanted to verify if it was true.

In case it was not, this would be a huge embarrassment. Of course, even if her daughter-in-law weren't pregnant at such a young age, she would indeed be in the future. But just as she thought of this, her face suddenly shifted. She obviously remembered Jolene, the disastrous daughter-in-law. She couldn't help but shake her head, contemplating the misfortune if they ended up with another daughter-in-law like Jolene.

Even though she liked Ariana, if she caused such an issue, it would definitely be more than her heart could take.

In this manner, the Stone family's main house was instantly thrown into chaos.

Fortunately, the Stone family's private doctor also lived in the Stone family's mansion, so he came as soon as he was called.

Observing the worrisome visage of Lambert and the excited yet restrained demeanor of Hugh and his wife, the people from the first and second branches of the family were lost in thought. Their confusion stemmed from the jubilation of not just the third couple but the elders as well. After all, they knew Lambert wasn’t a blood member of the Stone family.

So, his child wouldn’t naturally be a Stone family's descendent either.

So why were they so thrilled?

Suddenly, a strong sense of crisis engulfed the hearts of the eldest and the second uncles. They were unsettled, feeling a wave of trepidation as if something bad were about to happen.

Dr. Cooper arrived speedily. He was a competent traditional medicine doctor who could diagnose patients' conditions through pulse checking and other means. This made him a rare asset in the Stone's medical team, which is why he generally resided in the main house, taking care of any minor ailments Old Mr. Stone might have.

Of course, Old Mr. Stone's medical team would be called upon for more serious conditions.

Here, Dr. Cooper, maintaining an earnest expression, checked the pulse.

His brows furrowed momentarily, then after asking Ariana a few more questions, he cheerfully concluded, “Mrs. Stone is expecting. Take good care of the rest during this period. She’s newly pregnant with her first child so she must be well looked after.” At his words, Old Mr. Stone, Hugh, Jolene beamed with joy.
